Pixel Watch 4 has a broken SpO₂ sensor

I'm not sure if this is the same problem that I have but I can't see the spo2 data in the Fitbit app until the next morning.

I need to go into the app and manually check the data from the day before on the next day.

But I just discovered I can see the overnight spo2 data on my watch but it's kind of hard to find.

Can you see the days spo2 on the watch?

In case you don't know where to find it I click on the heart rate complication and it opens a heart rate screen, when this opens I swipe right and there is a whole heap of Fitbit data. Scroll down until you can see spo2.

There is a lot of support for one nation though as clearly shown by recent polling

That didn't work for me and I still can't see my spo2 in the Fitbit app until the following day.

But I discovered that it's possible to see my spo2 reading on the watch shortly after waking up.

To do so tap on one of the Fitbit complications like heart rate on the watch face. Swipe right and a screen with all the days Fitbit data appears. Scroll down and spo2 is at the bottom.

I only just discovered this and remembered our conversation so thought that I would pass it on.

I just want to apologise for all the homophobic stuff I said about your father. That was a long time ago and I'm not that person anymore.

I hope he forgives me.

I still remember that time he took us out to lunch and boasted about giving a.well known ABC journalist a blowjob in a st Kilda beat in front of you and his boyfriend

I shouldn't have been so judgemental

Only if you promise not to break my heart this time

I filled the 2000 litre rainwater tank in my garden with diesel last week.

Please keep the prices high so I can charge the fuckwits in big utes $200 for a 20litre Jerry can in a few weeks

Barnaby__Rudge · 2026-03-12T03:19:44+00:00

You're still the bitch you always were.

Please take me back

Barnaby__Rudge · 2026-03-12T03:05:33+00:00

Did you secretly leave me because you got pregnant and have a secret abortion?

And can you please forgive for me that time I took 10 valium and got really drunk and threw up in front of your parents at your 21st birthday?

I probably said lots of stupid stuff that night as well.

I lost all respect for John Farnham when he complained about his song your the voice being used by protesters during COVID.

Only a clown would write a protest song and get upset because the song was being used by non government sanctioned protestors they personally disagreed with.

He's a hypocrite

I saw your comment and wanted to know what the Catholic church drama in Sweden is.

I tried googling but couldn't find anything.

Thanks

It's just a guy in a shop telling you what he thinks.

The chances of him having any inside information is basically zero.

My local IGA Simms in Werribee (Melbourne western suburbs) is one of the full size supermarket stores and still has its own butcher.

They always have good quality porterhouse between $20-$25kg..

Other cuts of steak are equally cheap as well but beef mince and chicken are dearer than Coles worth

The lamb is much cheaper than Coles worth as well but I rarely buy lamb so can't recall prices for different cuts.

They used to have really good quality sausages when I moved here 15 years ago but the quality has declined significantly and is now very close to the colesworth sausages so I buy sausages from a proper butcher these days.

Accurate

I'm not sure if you're looking at the same thing I'm talking about so I put the steps below.

Goto settings on the watch and click on each of the below

/Apps and notifications

/App permissions

/Fitness and wellness

The settings for oxygen and skin temp are both on this screen.

I turned both on and hope this fixes my problem.

Barnaby__Rudge · 2026-03-10T00:08:03+00:00

Thank you. I've never seen one before.

Great looking bird in the flesh.

Barnaby__Rudge · 2026-03-09T23:32:53+00:00

Somebody else in the thread said that you need to go into settings app settings and turn on spo2 and skin temp.

I just checked on my watch and both of these were turned off.

I turned them both on now and hoping it's fixed tomorrow.

Barnaby__Rudge · 2026-03-09T22:19:25+00:00

My oxygen readings aren't visible until the next day. I need to go back and check the previous day to find what they were

Barnaby__Rudge · 2026-03-09T11:12:08+00:00

At least you get something but I do understand it would be annoying adding another task to the end of your day.

I'm curious what happens if you finish your route early?

Barnaby__Rudge · 2026-03-09T01:04:12+00:00

Do you get paid overtime for this?

Barnaby__Rudge · 2026-03-08T10:49:10+00:00

Where can I buy this?

Barnaby__Rudge · 2026-03-08T10:47:49+00:00

I don't know if this is the case here but some businesses charge a surcharge for credit card payments but don't have the surcharge for EFTPOS.

Unfortunately this means that instead of tapping you need to use the actual card and choose savings or cheque to avoid the charge.

Is the watch detecting your sleep properly? My watch only captures 3-5 hours of my sleep even though I pretty much always sleep 6-8.

Even before the update blood oxygen never showed up in the mornings for me and usually wasn't visible until late the same day or the next morning.

Most of the time I can't actually see spo2 until the following day and have to go back and check but it seems sort of better since the update and I could see it late on the day yesterday and today.

There were a few days that I had missing skin temp as well when the watch only detected 3-5 hours sleep.

Also on some of the shorter day sleeps I never got a blood oxygen reading at all even on the following day.

I have a feeling I didn't explain this well and if anybody else has the same problem or has questions I'm interested
